Code Example

Most of the WebRTC magic happens using communication via Meteor Streams. On the backend, the streams are managed in roomStream in room.stream.jsx and handled by RTCStore on the frontend in rtc.store.jsx.

Contributing

Would love any code contributions, and please raise issues if you run into bugs or have feature requests, etc. Thanks!

Motivation

My original motivation for quasar was to learn React, Flux, and WebRTC in one go and further my Meteor skill.

quasar makes for a solid example of how to integrate React + Flux in a Meteor app, and how to get a WebRTC video chatroom up and running.

Upcomming

• Meteor 1.2 upgrade --> waiting on the meteor-packages react 0.14 PR to get finalized and merged :)
• React Native / Meteor iOS app that works with quasar on the web
• Whatever else the people want
